"How much longer?!" Allen whined from the back seat, shaking the seat before him to wake Kanda.
"Yeah! How much longer Tyki?" Lavi repeated climbing into the front of the truck to change the radio station.
"We'll stop for a few hours one of the next exits." Tyki replied steering the car around an old woman driving slow in the fast lane.
"Good because my ass in numb!" Lavi yelled shoving Kanda over and sitting on the inch of available seat.
"Will you get the fuck out of here?" Kanda growled whacking Lavi on the head before he shoved him off of the seat.
"Ow! You're so mean to me Yuu!" Lavi said sitting back down beside Allen, who laughed as Lavi rubbed his red forehead. Kanda turned around in his seat, grabbed Lavi's collar and pulled him quickly to the front, purposely making sure he hit his head on the back of Tyki's seat.
"Don't you ever call me that again or so help me god, I will kill you." Kanda growled
"Hey! Nobody kills him, he's mine!" Tyki announced pulling Lavi away from Kanda with his free hand. Lavi shook Tyki off and climbing into the backseat once more, kicking Allen in the head as he did so.
"I'm not yours!" Lavi stated and Tyki smirked. Tyki adjusted the rear view mirror as he slowed the truck as they neared a toll booth. Kanda gathered pocket change and counted up the amount needed and handed it over to Tyki. Lavi and Allen snickered at a joke that Lavi had just told. Lavi fixed his bandanna and Allen unwrapped ripped open a bag of gummy worms. Time seemed to slow down in those few seconds before the impact. The SUV whamed into the truck at full speed sending the truck skidding forward and tumbling onto its side.
Allen whapped his head on the back of the seat, blood oozing from a gash across his forehead. Tyki gripped the steering wheel in both his hands, having ripped it from its place in the impact. Kanda sat covered in broken glass, clutching his broken arm. Lavi landed a few feet from the car, laying unconscious on the pavement, leg bent at a very odd angle. People stopped and a group quickly gathered around the crash. The three vampires climbed out of the wrecked truck, rubbed sore necks and fixed broken bones. Tyki looked around frantically when he noticed Lavi wasn't among the group. The sirens were heard and the group cleared a way for the ambulance to enter. As they did so, Tyki saw Lavi sprawled on the ground, his single emerald eye staring lifelessly at the blue sky. Tyki pushed past the still-lingering people and kneeled on the hot pavement next to Lavi, picking him up and holding him tight.
"Hey...wake up Lavi." Tyki pleaded, shaking Lavi slightly. Getting no response over and over Tyki's eyes began to water, droplets falling onto the raw skin the was on one side of Lavi's body. Allen closed his eyes and looked away as one of the paramedics pulled Tyki away and began seeing what could be done. Kanda wrapped his arms around Allen as he watched the three paramedics do everything in their power to bring him back. After several minutes that seemed like an eternity, the men stopped their attempt and let their heads droop in disappointment.
"He's gone, I'm sorry there was nothing we could do." One said to Tyki who once again held Lavi in his arms, looking down at him with a weak smile.
"I'll fix you up, don't you worry." Tyki whispered into Lavi's ear.
"Sir, we're going to have to see you and any other passengers that were involved in the crash. We'll take the deceased for now."
"No." Tyki mumbled gripping at the back of Lavi's torn shirt.
"But Sir." The paramedic protested and Tyki growled at him, causing the man to look at him curiously before backing away slowly.
Tyki didn't care at that point who saw and who didn't, if it was possible or a lost cause, he just didn't give a fuck anymore. He bent over Lavi and sank his fangs into the still warm flesh. Tyki drank what was deemed necessary before removing his fangs and slicing open his wrist with a small pocket knife. He opened Lavi's mouth and let the crimson droplets fall into it. Tyki ushered the dead boy to swallow, and wiped away his tears with his other wrist.
"What are you doing, Sir?" the man asked as he watched Tyki.
"Bringing him back..." Tyki said before picking Lavi up and carrying him over to where Allen and Kanda stood.
"You can't take his corpse with you!" The man called as Tyki stalked off. Kanda and Allen shrugged and slowly followed.
"Do you think he'll wake up?" Allen asked as Tyki laid Lavi down on the worn sofa that sat in the center of the abandoned cabin they'd stumbled across.
"I don't know. I've never turned a dead man before." Tyki admitted as he sat down on the dusty floor. He pushed Lavi's bangs from his eyes and frowned. Kanda sighed and sat down heavily on the chair, laying Mugen across his lap.
"There is nothing we can do but wait and see how this all plays out." Kanda said and Allen looked at him, arms crossed.
"Kanda...don't say that...he will wake up. I don't have a doubt." Allen said tapping his foot on the hardwood floor, sending the dust flying. Kanda chuckled, grabbed Allen's arm and pulled him onto his lap, knocking Mugen onto the floor as he did so.
"He'll wake up...I promise." Kanda said holding Allen tight. Allen nodded and rested his head on Kanda's chest, eyes slowly closing as he did so.
